Rick Owens "M43" Mountain Boots (FW12)
A classic model of Rick Owens footwear. This shoe is Rick’s take on the M43 boot issued by the US military in WW2. If you are interested in learning more about this model and its impact on fashion, there is an in-depth article dedicated to it in the “article” section of this website.
Back to the shoe at hand. These boots feature two straps on top of the ankle to secure the boot. This strap features a diagonal construction, spanning the entire height of the shoe and creating a very unique silhouette. The leather is beautiful (as always) and features a really nice patina. Could be re-stained.
Size: 39 fits larger (about 40.5 it) Insole measures around 26-26.5 cm (closer to 8.5 US)
